[GiDlist] Font type

[Andres Peratta]

Is there any way to change the font size (and type )
of the names of the Layers in the Layer window ?
I have version 7.4.7b of GID for Linux.
Many thanks !

The problem is that the names of the Layers, in the Layers window,
appear in very small fonts, and when I define a relatively large list of
layers
(let's say, more than 10)
then the names start to shift from their corresponding incons (the ones
that indicate
colour - lock/unlock - freeze/thaw).
Thus, the text does not follow a correspondence to those icons
and it becomes very difficult to know the status of a certain layer.

Hi:

Just to add that I have noticed the same problem. Initially I thought it
was a glitch with my graphics card, but I have seen this "icon shift" on
many machines. Maybe it's just a small offset in the alignment between the
icons and the layer names that becomes annoying if many layers are used.

Now it's not possible to change this font from the preferences window.

You can cange it only from tcl,
For example, try to write this tcl order in the lower command line:

-np- $::wChangeLay.middle.list.tx configure -font {size 9}
-np- $::wChangeLay.middle.list.lb configure -font {size 11}

(the current default sizes are 7 and 8)

What's your operating system?
If your platform is Windows, What's your current combination of fonts?
(Windows Screen properties-Appareance- Combination , Fonts)

We can try to solve this problem for next beta versions

Hello:

On my side, the problem occurs on a P3 running Win2k 5.00.2195 SP4 with
normal sized fonts (windoze font = tacoma 8pt).
The labels are slightly skewed from the second label onward.
After about 9 labels, the shift is about one full color block.

I have another Win2K machine, and an XP laptop, that do not have the problem.

Regards,

Philippe

The alignment problems of colors and names in the Layers window (using some fonts) are solved for the last GiD7.4.9b beta version.
This Layers window was updated and now it seems nicer using a new table look.
